Indonesian Officials Visit Site of Turkey’s First-Ever Nuclear Plant

A delegation from Indonesia’s nuclear energy agency paid a visit to site of Turkey’s first nuclear power plant in southern province of Mersin.

The delegation headed by Yarianto Budi Susilo, chairman of the Indonesia’s National Nuclear Energy Agency, visited the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant site as part of Indonesia’s own program to build their first nuke plant.

Russia’s state nuclear company Atomstroiexport is expected to begin in 2013 the construction of four nuclear reactors at the Akkuyu plant with a total capacity of 4,800 megawatts.
